  • Dimitrie's Ethical Heritage: a Life Lived Meaningfully
    Iulian Boldea, Dumitru-Mircea Buda, Cornel Sigmirean (Editors) MEDIATING GLOBALIZATION: Identities in Dialogue Arhipelag XXI Press, 2018 DIMITRIE’S ETHICAL HERITAGE: A LIFE LIVED MEANINGFULLY BETWEEN REALITY AND FICTION Lucre ția-Dorina Loghin Lecturer, PhD, ”Babe ș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca Abstract: Dimitrie Cantemir was a Romanian leader who, due to his joint merits as a highly esteemed politician of his time and as an artist, has earned himself an indisputable place of unique value in the annals of time. His personality is thus equally acclaimed on synchronic and on diachronic level. This, no doubt, can be ascribed to his highly intuitive, sensible and justice-loving personality. Yet, apart from being greatly admired for his remarkable social-political and artistic accomplishments, Dimitrie Cantemir has something special to be remembered for: his semi-fictional nature, which, to the day, remains shrouded in a mythical aura. His exquisiteness may be accounted for by the prince’s double ancestry. His innovative genius and artistic nature came in maternal lineage, an independent and cultivated spirit herself, who defied and baffled contemporary conventions with her experimental initiatives. In addition to this, Dimitrie inherited the love of justice and that of his nation from his father, Constantin, an audacious fighter for the safety and well-being of his people. This article proposes a brief examination of the double nature of Dimitrie Cantemir’s personality, which has marked his entire endeavor: his diplomatic activity as Prince of Moldova and, to an equal extent, his writings, fictional or of a different nature. Keywords: Dimitrie Cantemir, fictional character, heritage, encyclopedic spirit of Enlightenment.

    Dimitrie Cantemir y Miguel de Cervantes. Retratos en espejo / Amelia Sandu-Andrie ș Nexo , nº11, año 2014 DIMITRIE CANTEMIR Y MIGUEL DE CERVANTES. RETRATOS EN ESPEJO Amelia Sandu-Andrie ș Liceo Dimitre Cantemir (Ia și, Rumanía) Resumen: Los dos protagonistas, el principe-literato rumano Dimitrie Cantemir y el escritor español Miguel de Cervantes, representan figuras de primera importancia en sus respectivos países. Las autoridades se encargan, de forma más o menos sentida, de rendirles homenaje en fechas señaladas. El presente ensayo se aleja del mito oficial construido en torno a los personajes vistos como símbolos nacionales o como temas de estudio académico y se acerca a ellos en tanto que seres humanos, en un intento de destacar las coincidencias entre las dos biografías. Una empresa arriesgada, puesto que a priori, todo parece separar a nuestros escritores: la época, el país de nacimiento, la educación, el recorrido vital, la fama que les ha reservado la posteridad. A pesar de ello, un hilo común surge con fuerza, uniéndolos indefectiblemente: su profundo humanismo, su mirada compasiva hacia un mundo autodestructivo, su capacidad de superación, su tolerancia y su deseo de tender puentes de conocimiento y comprensión entre personas, culturas, sociedades y costumbres divergentes. A partir de ahí, nace y se va construyendo tímidamente esta breve presentación en espejo de Cantemir (al que pocos conocen, en España) y Cervantes (al que bastantes aún leen, en Rumanía). Entrar en las vidas excepcionales de estos dos modelos humanos ha constituido una experiencia interior apasionante. Espero que los lectores compartan conmigo la alegría de este viaje especial.

  • From Imaging to Slander and Dishonor
    Available online at www.aucjc.ro Annals of the University of Craiova for Journalism, Communication and Management Volume 6, 177-190, 2020 ISSN 2501-3513 FROM IMAGING TO SLANDER AND DISHONOR Iulian BITOLEANU Ph.D., "Anastasescu National College", Roșiorii de Vede, Romania Abstract Instead of the controversy of ideas, some journalists (and writers) preferred misinformation, mystification of the truth, trampling on any moral principle, only out of malice, less often out of professional envy, not taking into account the imminence of an intellectual "death" or professional career. For example, horrified by the plagiarism indented by an obscure publicist (Caion), the great classic I.L. Caragiale chose Germany as its residence and oasis of peace after 1900. Exile in a civilized country where the law is obeyed and abuses and imposture restricted can be a solution to disappearing from a tainted, "poisoned" world. Sometimes for the systematic "attacks" in the press, but illogical, unfounded, the issuer will pay / suffer hard. Specifically, the successful journalist, PamfilȘeicaru, opened many battlefields in the press of the time, flirting in his uncontrolled pride, with the effigy of a literary critic, venturing into the realms of literary and grammatical chronicle. For his malice, the 177 moment of revenge comes at the address of contemporary titans like Rebreanu and Camil Petrescu, not from the annoyed ones, but from unsuspected horizons, so that a drastic sentence will be avoided by taking refuge in Spain and Germany. Keywords: slander, dishonor, Caragiale, image Preamble The aura of a famous writer does not automatically become a guarantor / card of peace, of the satisfaction of what you have achieved at your desk, but in such conditions, a contestant - two, not to mention an escort or a chorus of denigrators, it would tarnish the image badly, it would even trigger dramatic gestures, with disastrous consequences.
